Coming soonImportant: administrative support only — we are not immigration advisers
We are not immigration advisers. PriorityCOS does not provide immigration advice, legal advice, eligibility assessments, document review for compliance, recommendations or representation. We are not regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA, formerly OISC), the SRA, or any other legal regulatory body.
Our services are strictly limited to: administrative support, document handling, booking assistance, and providing general, publicly available information (for example, links to GOV.UK guidance you have asked us to share).
We work only on the instructions you give us. You provide the information and documents, you make all decisions, and you submit your own application. We do not log in to your SMS account, communicate with the Home Office on your behalf, or act as your representative.
If you require immigration advice or legal guidance — for example eligibility opinions, which visa or licence to apply for, document review for compliance, refusals, appeals, judicial review, or contested compliance action — you must consult a regulated immigration adviser (IAA / formerly OISC) or an SRA-regulated immigration solicitor. You can find advisers on the public registers at gov.uk/find-an-immigration-adviser and sra.org.uk.
Need administrative help with your CoS?
Booking assistance and document handling only — we do not provide immigration advice. You remain in control of your own application.
